Welcome to Mantra Lounge where the timeless power of ancient mantras meets the soothing tones of fusion new-age music.

Sanctuary of Sound

We will start the evening with a relaxing 'Shloka' /Mantra chant. Shlokas are not just ancient verses—they’re tools for enhancing mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual connection. With their meditative rhythm, soothing vibrations, and profound wisdom, their benefits are universal and timeless.

You can relax into the sound and allow your nervous system to settle.

Mantra Lounge

Mantra Lounge will take you on a musical journey. Together we will be singing Kirtan/ Mantras as well as singing uplifting songs in English. We will provide lyrics and simple verses for you to follow should you wish to sing along. We warmly invite you to give it a go :)

The mantras and songs/kirtan are designed to take you into deep states of bliss and relaxation, benefits include:

• The vibrations created by chanting completely settle your nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.

• Many shlokas and chants convey messages of gratitude, compassion, and self-awareness, uplifting your spirit.

• The sound vibrations of specific syllables in Sanskrit align with your body’s energy centers (chakras) which can improve your breathing, enhance your vocal clarity, and harmonize your body’s vibrations.

• Rhythmic chanting slows down your breath and naturally creates a meditative state.

• Similar to mindfulness or affirmations, this repetition calms your mind, reduces stress, and enhances focus.

• Shlokas and mantras explore universal themes like love, peace, and wisdom, fostering a sense of connection to something greater.

• Mantras provide a bridge to understanding ancient wisdom traditions and connect you to your heart.

Meditation

We will finish the evening with a beautiful guided meditation. Meditating in a group amplifies the energy and creates a shared sense of purpose. Just sit back and relax.
